In an article about Pokemon XY posted on IGN.com this morning, Tyrunt's evolution Tyrantrum has been revealed:
The author also interviews Junichi Masuda and Hironobu Yoshida, a designer. On the game giving players running shoes immediately: "Throughout the development of previous Pokemon titles, we've had the philosophy that when you have something that increases convenience, you kind of want to make the player feel a little bit inconvenienced before that. ... But this time, we have a new item - the roller skates - that yet you zip around quite a bit faster. So that's why we gave you the running shoes right from the beginning."
"One of the themes of Pokemon X and Y is 'beauty' - Kalos is actually the ancient Greek word for beauty - and I thought France fit that ideal. I've travelled in my own time to places for inspiration, and France really stuck out in my mind. One of the reasons we base Pokemon settings on real-world places is that we think it'd be fun for players to discover real-world similarities. It's less about finding famous places and more about finding locales that would work well in-game."
"The names of X and Y represent the philosophy we had behind the two games. We've taken the idea of X and Y from the geometric X- and Y-axes. They represent two different ways of thought. At the same time, we want to convey a message encouraging people to find a common ground, where X and Y converge. Xerneas is meant to evoke imagery of eternity, while Yveltal is destruction. Perhaps you could see some ties between feminine and masculine qualities there!" More tidbits can be read in the article.

At the same time, another video game site, Nintendo Life, has revealed Amaura's evolution Aurorus, with proper official art, screenshots and information:
Aurorus is 8'10", 496 pounds, a Rock/Ice-type and learns a new moved named "Freeze Dry," which is an Ice-type move that is super effective against Water-types.
A trailer that aired after today's episode in Japan also revealed that Ash will be travelling in the Kalos region with Serena, the main female character from XY; Clemont, one of the Kalos Gym Leaders; and Clemont's little sister, Bonnie. Team Rocket, Jenny and Joy all return, with the latter two having new designs once again.
Other fan reviews and interviews have revealed that Pokemon get experience after battles in which wild Pokemon are captured, and that Gamefreak has confirmed NO Kalos Pokemon will receive Mega Evolutions.
